Nashville Church of Scientology Celebrates 32nd Anniversary

The
Church of Scientology held its 32nd anniversary
soiree celebration on April 22nd, 2017 with parishioners and friends from the
community.

This
past weekend, the Nashville Church of Scientology held a celebration of
thirty-two years in Nashville.

Church
pastor Rev. Brian Fesler began his speech for the evening with a message of
hope, if we work hard in our own sector to make a difference, “The way you
manage a global issue is, you team up with others from around the globe who
want to handle it. You take responsibility for an area, and team up with others
who are doing the same. Then you each clean up yourself, your community, your
state, your region. And when you have reached the boundaries of your friends,
and they have cleaned up to the borders of their friends, we will have peace
and prosperity for all.”

Community
leaders spoke about the Church’s involvement in education initiatives for human
rights and about the church’s commitment and involvement in the community.

Then,
a special guest pastor from another church delivered a sermon on love, quoting
parts of an article by Scientology Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, entitled ‘What is
Greatness?’ which begins: “The hardest task one can have is to continue to love
his fellows despite all reasons he should not.”

On
a global scale, the Church of Scientology has enjoyed greater expansion during
the past decade than in the previous 50 years combined. All the while the
Church’s ever-growing humanitarian programs have positively impacted hundreds
of millions of lives.

In
Nashville, the Church has seen thousands of people entering its doors for the
first time since moving into the grand Fall School Building eight years ago. On
a humanitarian mission, the Church has participated in numerous human rights
awareness events and helped create such events as Human Rights Day and the Rev.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. march and convocation. Church members,
volunteering in the area of drug education, have delivered more than 230
seminars in schools in Tennessee and have distributed more than 50,000
booklets.

“Scientology
is an active religion, where one seeks to know life and help people," says
Rev. Fesler, "and we have the tools to accomplish that. We don’t ask our
members to believe, we want them to act.”
